One of the last days - bored and messing around with stuff.

Image
A weapon with history - the MG3 (formerly MG42). Eleven Kilos of sheer brutality, forty years old and still in service.

Image
One dozen steel cans make their way through the rural landscape of Lower Saxony.

Image
The comercially most successful western tank ever. The Leopard 2. The ones shown here are the current 2A6s, the ones in the pics above are the old A4s.

"My barrel is longer than yours!"

I've got a lot of photos, so If I did start to post them, I would end up flooding the forums... ;D

Thankfully, I havn't been stung by a scorpion. I've seen them, and caught them, but I havn't been stung. I havn't been injured at all yet, and besides becoming a heat casualty and getting a case of jungle foot, no serious medical problems....That is untill I get blown up

Sun burns? With all of the gear we wear, there isn't a lot of skin exposed to the sun. Only my hands and part of my face get tanned. We're not allowed to get burned, or we can get in trouble.

Sure, i've met a lot of nice people, atleast when they're not trying to kill us... ;D

And this is coming from Andrew "Nice Pics" Esselbach. ;D

Same for me. Only had the "NATO tan" on arms and face.
And getting in trouble for sunburns? Souns familiar to me. But I always considered this a joke.

Oh, even people trying to kill you can be nice. ;D
